Reduced Keno Systems

§         Reduced systems do not cover every possible combination of your numbers and that’s why the are much cheaper to use than complete systems!

Read the following letter and get the feel of success.

4th September, 1998

"Just a note to thank you for sending my booklet (re: keno) so promptly. It arrived on Tuesday and I did not have much of a chance to read it properly. On Wednesday when I went to the Pub, I decided to use your example numbers and system.

First game I won nothing. Second game I collected $24.00, which I thought was not a bad collect for my investment of just $9.00. Then the third game came up, and believe me, I was ecstatic with the results of my last game: ticket 1, four numbers, ticket 2, four numbers, ticket 3, four numbers. Total return $1,080.00.

You can rest assured that I shall not be returning the booklet to you. Should you wish to use this note as a recommendation, feel free to do so.

With thanks.

Yours Sincerely,

Brian Kearvell - Campbelltown, South Australia"

Keno Information

§         In truth, keno is a game which provides some of the worst odds of winning of any form of gambling. The lure of keno is that for a mere bet of $1.00 you could win a million dollars or more...

Playing anymore than a spot six or spot seven in keno means you've lost touch with reality and are off with the fairies somewhere. The only reason to play a ticket bigger than a spot six or spot seven is if you're playing a good system and profiting from minor prizes.

The best value in keno are spots three, four and five. The gentleman who supplied the above testimonial was playing a spot four keno system for $3.00 a ticket. Playing smaller spots and multiplying your win is the clever way to play keno.

Something Interesting

§         From the time keno commenced at Jupiter's Casino on the Gold Coast it took 12 years for someone to win the 10/10 jackpot.

The winning numbers were 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40.

Most people would believe that the odds of a string of ten numbers such as these being drawn would be astronomical, but in truth the odds are exactly the same as those of any other ten numbers being drawn: 8,911,702-1

Example of a basic Keno System

§         The basic principal behind a reduced system is to simply take more numbers than your target number and then mathematically reduce them to equal your target number.

In Keno your target number can be anything from a spot one to a spot fifteen because you have the choice of which sized spot you'll bet on.

Let’s take a look at the rules and an example to see if we can’t improve your chances of winning.

Rules for playing Reduced Systems

§         1. Select six numbers between one and eighty and place them in the selections boxes at the top of the chart. As an example we'll say that you've chosen numbers: 13, 27, 28, 33, 41 and 79.

2. Copy your six selections vertically down the chart into the boxes without any crosses [XX] in them. You are only permitted to place your numbers in the open boxes in each plan: [XX]

3. Transfer the four numbers on each ticket line to a standard keno entry form. You'll end up with three tickets of four numbers each.

Below is an example of how a reduced systems looks prior to being filled in with your selections.

§         Now, let’s fill this system in for you so you can see just how easy it is to use an exciting and professional reduced system. Don’t forget that the numbers we've chosen for you are: 13, 27, 28, 33, 41 and 79.

Selections

[13][27][28][33][41][79]

Ticket 1.

[13][27][XX][33][41][XX]

Ticket 2.

[13][XX][28][XX][41][79]

Ticket 3.

[XX][27][28][33][XX][79]

 

 

Transfer of Numbers

§         In the above example the numbers you would transfer to each keno entry ticket would be as follows:

Ticket 1. 13, 27, 33, 41.
Ticket 2. 13, 28, 41, 79.
Ticket 3. 27, 28, 33, 79.


At a cost of $1 for each ticket your total cost to play one game using this particular system would be $3. For an outlay of $3 you have three chances of snaring all four numbers on one ticket. A four number keno win usually pays $119 so it’s not a bad result for an outlay of only $3 if your numbers happen to come out!

In the previous example you'll find that if all six of your selections are drawn you'll have three winning keno tickets of four numbers each. The result of three four spot wins would be three times $119 which makes a total of $357. $357 collected on one game is a pretty good result for an outlay of only $3.

Five winning numbers among your six selections guarantees one four number win and two three number wins.

Four winning numbers among your six selections will provide a minimum of two three number wins plus one two number win. Naturally you also have three chances at a four number win.

Three winning numbers among your six selections will provide a minimum of two two number wins plus three chances of a three number win.

Two winning numbers among your six selections will provide a minimum of one two number win with the chance of another two number win.

Important

§         Some Clubs and Casinos may not pay a two number win so check it out before you enter your tickets.

You now have a basic example of how powerful a reduced keno systems can be.
